System 360
An IBM 360/195 at the University of California, Santa Barbara was one of the first computers to be connected to ARPANET.
ARPANET was the first network that used packet switching to send information quickly and reliably between computers. In 1969 the network consisted of just four nodes on the west coast of the United States. The ARPANET enabled file sharing between institutions and allowed users to access powerful mainframe computers remotely using standard protocols.
